Moving a Studio

Moving is why I've missed posting this week. Wow, what a whirlwind we've had. A bit more to go and all will be done, then the organizing of our present house can begin!

My Studio Space

I can't really call it a studio yet because everything is in chaos. Where will my sewing area be? Painting area? Dyeing area? Office area? See that cabinet in the back. It is a very old cabinet from a dental office. I was going to give it away before the move but my wise friends reminded me what good storage it has for my sewing supplies so I kept it and I am very thankful I did. I vow one day I will finish the refinishing job I started on it.

A large set of ordinary cupboards not nearly so aesthetically pleasing as the dental cabinet but they will keep a lot of clutter out of sight.

My textile hand painted panels arrived safely.

More boxes on a nice big work area. Can't wait to get back to creating!

Do you get anxious when you have no time for creating? I know I do. Life just seems out of balance somehow.

Today we took a few hours off from moving and enjoyed roasting Smokies over a fire with our neighbours. Can't believe this is in November!
